embodied, empowered Life

increase joy, play and ease and release stress, disconnection, and burnout

come back to joy & break the cycle

I help men and fathers break the cycle of seriousness and self-pressure through laughter, embodiment practices, and Jungian-based coaching that restores authenticity, play, and meaningful connection.

My coaching style blends humor, embodiment, and depth psychology to help people—especially men and fathers—soften the seriousness and efforting that often drive stress, disconnection, and burnout. Through a mix of laughter, yoga, guided meditation, visualization, breathwork, reading, and journaling, I create a grounded yet playful space where clients can step out of their heads and into the states of being they want to inhabit more often. Using the Four Gateways coaching model rooted in Jungian psychology and men’s work, I support clients in accessing the parts of themselves that have been hidden under pressure, self-oppression, and over-responsibility.

Ultimately, my intention is to revive a father’s natural capacity for joy, presence, and play—without dismissing the real responsibilities of life. This work reconnects men to their authentic selves and helps them rebuild robust health from the inside out, cultivating vulnerability, resilience, and deeper connection within their families and communities. If you’re ready to step out of the cycle of pushing and into a life that feels more alive, grounded, and true, this coaching offers a pathway home.

Programs & Membershps

Are you ready to get support and accountability for your health and lifestyle goals? Work on fitness, diet, mindset, and goal achievement. Programs are tailored to each person – geared to increase your joy.

how we work together

what to expect with your treatment

Before your initial session, we will have a 20 minute introductory conversation to discuss current issues, what your goals are and if I am the right fit for your needs.

If its your first treatment, we will do a 90 minute intake appointment, go over your intake form, do a body assessment and scan with 60 minutes of massage, and I’ll be asking questions here and there to make sure everything is feeling good. Communication is key! I want you to have a really good massage – so let me know if you have any preferences.

You will be fully draped with sheets when you are lying on the massage table. I am a medical professional and will make sure that only the area I am working on will be undraped. You may disrobe to your level of comfort.

At the end of the session, we’ll discuss my assessment findings and check in about how the session went and goals. 

We create a plan for moving forward to meet your specific goals. Often some coaching can be incorporated into the session to help further understand the full picture, including discussing diet, lifestyle, stress, and what role rest and relaxation play in your life. 

I require 48 hours notice for cancellations. All late cancellations will be charged a fee. If you do not show up you will be charged the full cost of the session.

don't take my word for it

“I would tell my friend if he was male that Sim’s sessions are essentially ‘Men’s Work.’ He encourages and inspires me to do the deep work necessary to optimize the impact of the bodywork. My wife died recently and my work with Sim is profound grief work. He knows about loss and how it impacts body and soul .”

- nick, coaching & bodywork

“Sim has helped me and inspired me in so many ways! I’ve done two programs and four months of life coaching, and he truly has been a strong presence for pointing me to my purpose and keeping me on task. Can’t recommend him enough. Thanks Sim”

- Jaron, Coaching
